U.S. Indoor Team Will Play Iroquois Nationals

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- U.S. Indoor Lacrosse
announced Monday the tryout and training camp dates for the U.S.
National Team which will compete in the 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse
Championship.

The schedule culminates with a pair of exhibition games this
fall, including the first-ever Bowhunter Cup, an international
"friendly" between the United States and the Iroquois Nationals to
be held at the War Memorial at Oncenter in Syracuse, N.Y., on Sept.
25.

The World Indoor Lacrosse Championship takes place at Telsa Arena
in Prague, Czech Republic on May 21-28, 2011. Australia, Canada,
Czech Republic, England, Finland, Ireland and the Iroquois
Nationals will join the United States in the one-week
tournament.

Team USA recently finished first at the World Field Lacrosse
Championships, defeating Canada, 12-10, in the gold medal game. The
Iroquois Nationals were unable to participate, as the British
government refused to recognize the teams' Haudenosaunee passports
or provide them with visas to travel to England.

The Iroquois Nationals are 2-0 all-time against the Americans in
indoor competition, winning in pool play in 2003 and in the
semifinals in 2007.

The fourth annual USIL Combine / Competition will be held the
weekend of Aug. 28-29, at TurfCity Indoor Sports Center in Wayne,
N.J. The Combine / Competition is a two-day event, featuring
agility testing, as well as indoor lacrosse drills and scrimmage
play on Saturday, followed by an invitational tournament which will
be scouted by both Team USA and professional GMs and scouts on
Sunday.

Tryouts for the U.S. Men's National Indoor Lacrosse Team will be
held Sept. 10-12 at Turf City in Wayne, N.J. For more
